This sounded much better in my memory of the game from the mid-1990s. I'd be tempted to dig up a computer from that time and attempt to record the music when it sounds as it was intended to, rather than emulated. But then again my memory may just be playing tricks on me. In any case this game has awesome music.
This was one of those games where you install it, not really knowing what kind of game it's going to be. You find yourself sitting there staring at the screen because the music is so captivating.
Sorry about that, I got it directly from the Blue Moon website, so what you hear is what's there. I didn't rip the music myself but in retrospect I should have.
@gdreyband that's the track as you hear on the game itself....i mean, it plays on the intro, and there is a demo gameplay on the intro and those bumping sounds are the ship (which i find to fit the song really well 'o' almost seems like it was on purpose)
@zaelie What you're hearing is just a recording of the actual game, which after 40 seconds means you're hearing the audio of the gameplay demo the game shows if you're idle at the UI for too long. Lots of games used to have a gameplay/attractor loop like this, a remnant from the heyday of arcades.
@Tiogshi I know. as the uploader already said to me he got it off the dev's own website so it's lazy on their part and not so much the uploader's.
a while ago I did some reversing on this game and from memory the songs are just mod files compressed with an LZS variant common on the amiga. I don't know why the devs didn't post the music file itself rather than rip it from their own game.
You know, the music in this game uses adlib, and the sound effects are made by soundblaster, so if you're using dosbox to run the game, you could just disable the soundblaster in the config, and then you'd hear none of the bumps the ship makes as it jumps around, nor the whoosh in the beginning :)
Still, thanks for posting this, it's the first game music to be one of my favourites
Cool thanks for posting this I have the game still but the music doesn't play, anyone know if there is a midi of this tune floating about? Yes those ship noises are annoying, didn't remember it being that bad lol
Now I'm crying of nostalgic happiness
